Default I am Ironman

As some of you may already know, I am competing in Ironman Wales this year (http://ironmanwales.com/) which is a triathlon consisting of a 3.9km swim, 180km cycle, and a 42km run. I am doing this semi properly, looking at an 11 hour completion time.

Despite this, I kinda want to pay homage to this game in my clothing, or such, any ideas?

Take a screenie of you destroying a base or something, blow it up, and print it on a shirt. Not sure what else you could do, unless there's an Alti store I don't know about.

Good luck to you though. That's quite the challenge!

Sites like Vistaprint and Printerpix produce custom shirts and banners that could feature any number of Altitude related images.

I would guess that if we took a vote, for the most iconic object of Altitude, it would probably be the Loopy.

But there is always the image of the chick in a plane, in the header of the Altitude Wiki...

thing is, I can't really wear a custom made t-shirt, I need wicking clothes (gets rid of sweat and water), I was thinking of drawing or writing something on my actual tops in sharpie.

Would probably do this for the cycle as I will have a jersey ontop of my trisuit which actually has more space for writing XD

I was already thinking of writing -
"Don't drown" on my wetsuit (somewhere)
"Don't crash" on my cycle jersey
"Don't trip" on the trisuit for when I run

And no, no hashtags, I am not that much of a douche!!

Why a triangle?!?

Can't you apply stickers on your bike? You could get some custom made pics of the altiplanes.
If you're limited to text only, I'd go with something like

I'll be rooting for you! And as for the Altitude-related stuff, simply write "no worries" or "hakuna matata" somewhere

Congrats man! But I'm not satisfied cause you haven't posted a picture of the clothing you used O:

Although it would mean nothing if you didn't pay homage to alti

Stanky, congratulations mate! I really want to give it a try as well, but at the moment, I'm really young. I'm madly in love with professional cycling and running, but swimming, not so much. Once again, congratulations!
